Sirenz, when I fell pregnant for the first time I was a 20 a day smoker. I cut down heaps but was still smoking maybe 3 ciggies a day? Feeling shockingly guilty but figured I'd cut down slowly so I wouldn't slip up and fall; just wean myself off them.

One morning I woke up and just didn't feel like a coffee or a cigarette. My hubby made me a cup of coffee and I just couldn't drink it; nor could I have the ciggie that usually went with it. This was at about 8 weeks pregnant I think; my body just suddenly took matters into its own hands and made quitting easy for me.

I had an argument with my parents a few weeks later and straight away lit up a ciggie; old habit - stress ciggie! But I couldn't finish it and then went to the bathroom and was sick. Body was completely over it.

I won't lie and say that I never felt like ciggies again; but I kept that feeling in my head always - the feeling of how horrible ciggies are when you haven't had one for a while and how the taste lingers and smell lingers and makes you feel a bit dizzy and vomitous.

Hope you can do it whichever way works for you.
